Jonathan Eusebio's action-comedy Love Hurts will also premiere on August 7. The film stars Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose. It revolves around Marvin, who gets pulled back into a world with "ruthless hit men and double-crosses" that'll turn his life upside down. Moreover, he meets Rose, his former partner-in-crime, whom he had left for dead.
